Abstract: An information handling system and peripheral mouse establish level four security when a preloaded security identification packet is available to securely identify both devices for the exchange of pairing information in a manner that avoids man-in-the-middle attacks. The peripheral advertises with both a BLE protocol packet that supports a conventional level 3 security pairing and a secure identification packet that supports a level four security pairing. When the secure identification packet advertisement is selected by a host, the BLE profile may be populated without performing pairing so that the profile can be used to subsequently pair without risk of a malicious device imitating the BLE interface.

Abstract: An information handling system mouse autonomously provides a rapid visual image transition from a first display to a second display in response to a predetermined condition detected at the mouse, such as a left click that an end user performs when on the visual image title bar accompanied by a gesture or a hot key input. The mouse responds to the inputs by commanding an acceleration of movement of the cursor coordinates so that the information handling system rapidly moves the visual image from the first display to the second. In various embodiments, the movement can include a selection to go to a full screen presentation or to keep the visual image size the same. The visual image transfer is performed without any coordination with the information handling system other than commanding cursor coordinate movements.

Abstract: An information handling system stylus makes inputs to a touchscreen display with a writing tip disposed at one end of a cylindrical housing. In an opening at the end of the cylindrical housing opposite the writing tip, a port and a push button are disposed under a removeable flexible cap to provide a cable connection for charging the stylus when the cap is removed and an input device to activate a wireless function when the flexible cap is in place, such as by translating end user pushes through a steel plate integrated in the flexible cap. An attachment member extends from the flexible cap into a sliding engagement with an end cap so that the flexible cap lifts out of the opening and flexes about the attachment member to expose the port in the opening.

Abstract: A connector system enables charging of a portable information handling system in a charging dock. The connector system has improved tolerance to misalignment of male and female connectors to facilitate engagement when the portable information handling system is inserted into a charging dock. An embodiment of a receptacle adapter is disposed such that there is only one orientation for power connector engagement. An embodiment of the charging dock has an angular tilt that causes a partial weight component of the portable computer to contribute to positive engagement of the external plug adapter and receptacle adapter. An embodiment of the connector system includes a power interface including conductive pads and pogo pins. The conductive pads have contact surfaces that tolerate alignment variation between the pogo pins and the conductive pads. An embodiment of the connector system is a USB Type-C power adapter connector system.

Abstract: A printer setup system includes a plurality of printers coupled to a network that each display a respective printer setup code. A printer database is coupled to the network and includes printer setup information for each printer. An information handling system (IHS) including a camera is coupled to the printer database through the network. The IHS includes a decoding engine to receive an image of a first printer setup code displayed by a first printer from the camera and decode the first printer setup code to determine printer identification information for the first printer, and a printer setup engine to access the printer database, use the printer identification information for the first printer to retrieve printer setup information for the first printer, and provide the printer setup information for the first printer on the IHS such that the IHS is operable to print on a printing medium using the first printer.

Abstract: A printer ROS window cleaning system enforces unidirectional cleaning motion through a passageway formed in the printer housing. A guide has a distal portion that engages a cleaning tool from insertion until a cleaning portion reaches the rear of the passageway. A cleaning tool deflector positioned at the rear of the passageway biases the cleaning tool from the distal portion of the passageway to a proximate portion so that the cleaning portion contacts the ROS window. A unidirectional cleaning feature ensures that the cleaning portion will contact the ROS window during removal of the cleaning tool by preventing re-insertion of the cleaning tool in the proximate portion of the passageway.

Abstract: An imaging device for automatic dust removal is provided. The imaging device may include a glass layer and an electrostatic particle removal system associated with the glass layer. The electrostatic particle removal system may include an induction layer configured to induce a charge to a particle located between the glass layer and the electrostatic particle removal system, a field grid layer configured to provide an electric field for moving the charged particle, and a collector configured to collect the charged particle moved by the electric field.
